We absolutely should send a crewed mission to Mars. It's not only about the scientific discovery and potential for colonization, but it's also a challenge that will inspire generations to innovate and dream big. Mars is the next tangible frontier for human exploration, and by aiming for it, we catalyze technologies and generate knowledge that benefits humanity as a whole.

I strongly believe that private individuals should be permitted to utilize asteroid belt resources without allegiance to a specific Earth government. The future of humanity lies in space exploration, and opening up the asteroid belt for private ventures will accelerate technological advancements and economic growth. This freedom will foster innovation and help establish a thriving space economy.

I strongly believe that we should allow terraforming of Mars via directed asteroid impacts. This method could introduce vital elements and warm the planet, making it more habitable for future human colonization. Transforming Mars is crucial for the survival and expansion of humanity.
